Jordan Alexander III Robusto (reblended/rebranded) 1/1/16

Appearance 

Dark brown silky wrapper with tight nearly invisible seams. No prominent veins. It has an interesting single cap with a twisted and tied pig tail. It has a nice oily sheen. The new band is very nice and ornate. 

Aroma 

Barnyard with cinnamon and cocoa powder on the wrapper. Foot is mostly closed by excess wrapper.

Prelight Draw 

Cocoa powder & cinnamon spice over a light woody note. 

1st

Initial draw is mostly from wrapper and is full of cinnamon spice. The cocoa powder and cinnamon mix well together with an underlying wood note. At the 1" point the draw and burn are perfect. Excellent construction at the Quesada cigar factory in DR. The ash is salt&pepper gray and tight. Near the end of 1st/3rd the cinnamon becomes warm cinnamon. 

2nd

Moving into the 2nd the cocoa powder seems to fade but a roasted nut flavor replaces it. The burn has developed a slight wave. I removed the ash between 3rd's but it was strong and would have held much longer. The strength is a solid medium. At the halfway point of the cigar there is a nice fruity note joining the mix. Fruit, nuts and cinnamon dominate the profile at this point. A few draws later the cinnamon gets warmer and the strength moves to medium+. Late in the second the spice becomes more of a crushed red pepper(that's a good thing). The burn line has fully self corrected. The strength moves to med/full near the end of this 3rd. 

Final/3rd

The final/3rd starts out with the fruity note becoming much like a Granny Smith apple flavor. The roasted nuts and crushed red pepper with woody undertone round out the flavor profile. 

Overall a complex flavorful wonderful smoking experience.
